C. with programmable controller, Cryogenic cooling chamber capable of cooling upto -196 Deg.C. with programmable controller, oil quenching facility & Tempering furnace with programmable controller. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS: (1) RAPID HEATING FURNACE: Furnace Type: The furnace is rectangular, horizontal, opening on both side with door suitable for use in oxidizing as well as in inert atmosphere. Outer Chamber: The furnace is totally enclosed with mild steel body and suitable stand for easy operation. Inner Chamber: The inner chamber is formed by high temperature withstanding muffle with opening on both sides. Heating element: Kanthal APM Insulation: The space between the inner and outer chamber is tightly packed with high quality ceramic fiber to reduce the heat loss to the minimum.Retort: This is made of 6 mm thick AISI 310 stainless steel Rectangular horizontal with opening on both ends fitted with flanges with provision of gas inlet and outlet and thermowell. Additional Temperature Control: Microprocessor based programmable temperature controller is provided to program, indicate and control the furnace temperature which is connected to the sensor placed inside the retort thermowell. A separate sensor is pl aced inside the furnace and connected to Microprocessor based PID controller which will act as safety controller. (2) CRYOGENIC COOLING CHAMBER Type: The chamber is rectangular, horizontal, opening on both side with sliding door Outer Chamber: The furnace is totally enclosed with mild steel body and suitable stand for easy operation. Insulation: The space between the inner and outer chamber is tightly packed with high quality glass wool to reduce the heat loss to the minimum. Retort: This is made of 6 mm thick AISI 310 stainless steel Rectangular horizontal with opening on both ends fitted with flanges and provided with thermowell. Cooling media: Liquid nitrogen. Temperature Control: Microprocessor based programmable temperature controller is provided to program, indicate and control the cooling temperature which is connected to the sensor placed inside the retort thermowell. (3)TEMPERING FURNACE: Furnace Type: The furnace is rectangular, horizontal, opening on both side with door suitable for use in oxidizing as well as in inert atmosphere. Outer Chamber: The furnace is totally enclosed with mild steel body and suitable stand for easy operation. Inner Chamber: The inner chamber is formed by high temperature withstanding muffle with opening on both sides. Heating element: Kanthal A1 Insulation: The space between the inner and outer chamber is tightly packed with high quality ceramic fiber to reduce the heat loss to the minimum. Retort: This is made of 6 mm thick AISI 310 stainless steel Rectangular horizontal with opening on both ends fitted with flanges with provision of gas inlet and outlet and thermowell. Additional Temperature Control: Microprocessor based programmable temperature controller is provided to program, indicate and control the furnace temperature which is connected to the sensor placed inside the retort thermowell. A separate sensor is placed inside the furnace and connected to Microprocessor based PID controller which will act as safety controller. (4)OIL QUENCHING: A cylindrical mild steel tank with oil is provided for oil quenching the test specimen. (5)CONTROL PANEL: A separate floor model control panel accommodating the following is supplied with the equipment for operation and control of the facility. HRC fuse units Pilot indicating lights ON/OFF switch, 3 nos. Programmable temperature controllers one each for rapid heating, cooling & tempering, 2 nos. safety PID Temperature controllers one each for rapid heating and tempering furnaces. control switches for heat treatment and cooling arrangements. Numerical specifications: Inner size of all the three zone  125 mm width, 80 mm height & 250 mm depth.  Max temperature of Rapid heating furnace   1000 Deg.C.  Maximum cooling  -196 Deg.C.  Maximum temperature of tempering furnace  500 Deg.C.  Input Power Supply  440 V.
